📥 Exporting Your Data (CSV, JSON, .adarchive)

The Export Data page (under Account → Data Management) lets you download a copy of your AutoDrive data. Exports run entirely in the browser — nothing is queued or stored server-side.

Pick what to export

Multi-select drivers, vehicles, drives, fuel logs, and charging logs. The buttons under the grid select all or clear in one click. The same group / driver-mode scoping that applies on every other page applies here, so a driver-role member only sees their own rows.

Pick a format

• AutoDrive Archive (.adarchive) — a single JSON-based file that round-trips into another AutoDrive account through the Import page. UUIDs are preserved, so the same archive can be re-imported safely.
• CSV — one CSV per selected entity. Pick a single entity and you get a .csv; pick more than one and AutoDrive bundles them into a single .zip with one CSV per entity. Useful for spreadsheet work or sharing with a CPA.
• JSON — raw API response shape keyed by entity. Best for scripting and ad-hoc analysis.

Migrating between AutoDrive accounts

Export as .adarchive on the source account, then on the destination account go to Account → Data Management → Import Data, pick the AutoDrive Archive card, and drop the file. You'll get a per-entity checklist with row counts before anything is written.

Build & save confirmations

Once your data finishes loading, AutoDrive builds the file in the browser and shows a Build success prompt with a row / entity count and the exact filename(s) about to be saved — click Download to send them to your computer or Cancel to bail out without saving anything. After the download fires, a second prompt confirms the file landed in your Downloads folder. Inside the AutoDrive Online macOS app the second prompt is a native dialog with a Reveal in Finder button.

File names

Exports are named autodrive_YYYYMMDD_<group>.adarchive (or .json / .csv), where <group> is the snake-case version of your active account group's name. Switching groups before exporting changes the filename so you can tell archives from different groups apart at a glance. CSV exports add the entity name (e.g. autodrive_20260427_my_fleet_drives.csv).
